Mrs. Milton Yohn is the wife OF one 81
the most respected citizens of Carnarvon,
Pa. On Tuesday she was cooking beet
steak for dinner. While the meat was
cooking she was busying herself in en-
other part of the kitchen. Suddenly she
heard 8 peculiar swapping ard cracking
sound proceeding from the stove. she
turned and stood spell-bound at Whist she
saw. snake was turning and twisting
and trying in the pan with the beefsteak
1t writhed and Contorted itself for
a moment and then sank into the skillet
dead. Mrs. Yohn emptied the steak and
the snake in the yard. The village is now
pulling itself to find out where the snake
came from aud how 1t got into the frying
pan, The mystery is as yet unsolVed
One epicurean old citizen says that he
will make no attempt to solve the puzzle,
but his opinion is that the appearance Of
the snake in the skillet is simply warn
ing to Mrs. Yohn and al other housewives
not to fry steak.

SOCIALISTS INDIGNANT.
Henry George and the Labor Party Accused
of Base Ingratikude

Henry George and the Labor Party accused
of Base Ingratisude
NEW YORK, Aug. The socialists
have not yet been able to decide what TO
do in the matter of their quarrel with and
expulsion from the United Labor party
whether to get out quietly and reorganfze
the sociaIistic labor party or to remain
where they are. The prevailing senti-
ment, however, is to remain ard appeal
to the wOrklngmen at large who are
members of the United Labor party.
Heir Jonas, editor of the Nolks
Zeitung, the organ OF the social
istic labor party in this city, has
come out with statement OF what the
socialists have done for the United Labor
party, and with severe criticism Of Henry
George and his land theory and of the
politicians who went simply to make
machine of the party. He says that the
socialists were the first to propose to the
wol kingmen of this city independent po-
litical action, and did their utmost to or
ganiZa the United LABOR party. They
were also among the Hrst who nominated
Henry George and VINO manifested the
greatest energy during and since the cam
paign.
Speaking OF the socialists, locally, this
mornings sun says ''The social
lists are men with brains and tai
ents. 1t is a common and easy
belief of people who never talked with 8
socialist in their lives and think they
never saw one, that socialists are some
sort Of dirty objects that want to despoil
every body and divide with successive
spoLatiOns and divisions as of5eTb as
necessary. The men VINO lead the social
lists OF New I Ork are far above the aver
sge in ability. They are fluent linguistic,
able speakers, learned in history sra
political economy and capable Of writing,
Several OF them are editors of prosperous
papers. They are not cranks or dn-
washed or communists and there is moth
| iug they oppose more than anarchy"
And editorially: of they insist on turn
ing the socialists out OF the United
Labor party, Henry George and his
/ heutenants are sure to receive some hea "
1 blows in the contest that will take place
Mr.. John Swinton, toe, has an account
! to settle with Mr. George, and there are
other signs Of discomfort with their
leaders in the labor party which polIed
! IS, 0C0 votes last November"
! as the socialists say very truly, Georss
would have had no political consequence
whatever except for them. When al
! their suggestion, the Central Labor UnioI
put him forward as g candidate for Mayor
and when, before that time, Mr.. SWintoE
was advocating his nomination for Pc
! litical office, George was known only as s
writer and was earning an uncertain liV
| ing by the publication OF his books.

How General Washington Would Have
Appreciated Good Reporter.
Moncure d. Conway recently read ip
New York paper on ''The General and
the Journalist in time of War" before
the Military Service Institution at Gov
ernor's Island, New York.
MIR. Conway related his experiences as
q war correspondent during the Franco
Prussian war. He contrasted the treat.
ment he and Murat Halstead received at
the hands OF the French, who turned
them out OF Metz, with the attention
subsequently shown them by order of
Bismarck when they followed the general
army. Generals come and 90, but the
reporters and interviewers are always
with U.S." he said, "and the warriors of
our time have got to come to some terms
with them" Referring to an eminent
English military authority, whom he did
not name, Mr.. Conway remarked: "I
need not say that do not mean Lord
| Wolseloy, for he is or eminent English
humbug." 1t was the testimony of
Germany, he declared that it was a de-
clded advantage to have correspondents
with an army, and he never heard of
military authority or General who had
expressed regret or found fault that
courtesies were extended to the CORE
spondents.
In tho discussion which followed
Capt. Il. V. Green, who recently re-
signed from the United States engineers
and was the United States military
attache with the Russian army during
the war with Turkey, told of the suryeil-
lance exercised by the Russians over
correspondents and their reports. Capt.
Green paid very high compliment to
mcGarraghan, whom he rated as ono of
the greatest war correspondents. Major
j. Is. Ground told of the exactions Of
English military officials while he was
with the army in Egypt. Col. w. O.
Church gave few experiences dun ing
the civil war. Gen. j. B. Fry, in
closing, read this letter concerning cor.
respondents, written by Washington.

A meeting of colored citizens was held
in this city last night. The chairman
stated that it was called to advocate O.
Judlclous emigration from those parts of
the South where tho colored people are
subjected to unjust treatment to such
parts of the United States where they
enjoy the rights and privileges accorded
to every citizen of the United States,
That there arc many places in the South
where tho colored people enjoy proper
civil protection is an admitted fact. Our
policy Will be to encourage them to re-
main therc, for the reason their position,
to say the least, is fair. But we shall
mover cease our labors in the interest of
those who arc not 80 we'll off.
II. Ii. Sutton (colored) an ex-member
of the North Carolina Legislature, was
introduced. He said: "In the matter of
voting all kinds of device are practiced
to dcfraud the colored people out of
their votes. Throughout the Solid
South laws have been mado that no de-
wee, such as picture of any kind, or
even dot, should be placed on o ballot,
that would enable tho voters who are
unable to read to discriminate between
tho Democratic and Republican tickets.
Whenever such ballot is found in the

IN the hands of colored voter he is sent
to prison for violating the election laws,
In many counties the leaders among the
colored people are arrested and sent to
the pcnltcntiary or murdered to intimi-
date their followers. BY the landlord
and tenant laws, if colored man plants
crop and gathers it before the landlord
makes division of it according to his
claims upon the tenant, the tenant ia
convicted of fraud and sentenced to the
penltcntlary. BY what is known as the
justified law of North Carolina, colored
men are prevented from going security
for each other by q law requiring such
surotles to swear that they are worth
- 300 In real estate, which must be un-
! 1ncumbored by mortgage and the party
entirely out of debt. The whites viii
sell colored people all the land they
want, but they must agree to give the
8rantor q mortgage on the land, and
work it i'll partnership until paid for,
One may work on such terms for twenty
years and at its expiration will be in
deDt' owning nothing. Provisions are
sold to tenants at extortionate prices
pork at 10 cents per pound, common
nour ut cents, brown sugar at 10 cents,
etc. Women are hired at eighty-tWo
per month. The schools in many coun-
ties are kept open only two and half
months. If you undertake to keep IN
account of your work and wages and
hold the employer to it,, you are ao-
counted bad 'niggor, and must be got
ten rid Of, or you will spoil all other
niggcrs.' You must either escape for
your life or be put in prison on some
protext ~ murdered.

Manufacturing I'm South Carolina.

The Chronicle is pleased to note the
enterprise and success of South Carroll
ma, and points to tho States statistics in
manufacturing enterprises with pleasure,
The State has suffered little if any from
labor troubles, and shows her manufac-
tories flourishing almost uniformly. The
statement is made that in 1860 she had
1880 factories and $1,000, 600 used as
capital. In 1880, 2,078 factories were
running, 81 ,250,000 capital was in use,
and tho product was SIG, 700, 600. Last
year these figures had grown to 3,243
factories, $21, ,25O, 600 capital, and $50
100000 of products.
The Columbus (Ga.) Enquircr-Sun
gives The above figures, and says that
during the last six years there has been
a gain of over eighty per cent, and adds:
"lsn't there something to be proud Of
in that?" Exemption of many indus
trial enterprises from taxation has tend
ed to give big help to growth. Under
such policy the cotton mills have grown
till now they employ $5,000,OOO of capi-
tai, as compared with $780, 900 in 1860,
while tho annual product has become
So, 600, 600 against $S7O0, 600 at the wars
outbreak. Trade in lumber has dcvcl-
oped as handsomely. In 1860 81, no.
600 was employed as capital in timber
production, and the market valuo of the
output then was 81, $4,000. Last year
$3, $50, 600 was the capital in use, and
the product brought $6,236,0OO. Rosin
and turpentine making have kept pace;
in 1880 81 900, 900 was the value of that
product; last year it grow to $4,000, 600.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
The May Report of tho National Depar
mont of Agriculture

The report of the United States De.
partment of Agriculture for May relates
to the condition OF winter grain, the
progress of spring plowing end the pro-
portion of the proposed cotton area
already planted. 1t indicates decline
in the condition of wheat Of two points
since April lst, the general average for
the whole country being SO, against 95
at the same date in 1886, 70 in 1885. and
81 in 1884. The changes in condition
have not been uniform throughout the
winter wheat region, some States show
ing an increase, majority slight de-
cline, and few heavy falling off.
Rye has suffered from the same con-
ditions which have injuriously affected
wheat, but on account of it's harder M
ture the general average is considerably
higher, standing at 90S, against 90. 8 on
April 1st and 95.7. at tho same date in
1886. The condition is barely below the
average, being 87.8, against &C. in May,
1886, and 50 in 1885.
The season has been more generally
advanced in all parts Of the country than
usual, spring plowing being seriously
behind only on the Atlantic coast South
to pennsylvania, and on the Pacific
slope. In these sections it has been de-
layed by cold and excess of moisture.
Elsewhere the work is ahead of the aver
age year, the season, especially during
April, having been gcnarally favorable,
with temperature above normal and rain
fall at minimum. The proportion al
ready on May 1st is estimated at 80 per
cent. of the whole, while the amount
usually completed at that date is about
76 per cent.
The proportion of cotton already
planted amounts to moro than four-fifths
OF the proposed area, and is slightly
greater than at the same date in any
preceding five years, but is little less
than the proportion returned by CORE
spondents as the average planting at
that date. The proportions by States
are as follows:
North Carolina 70, South Carolina so,
Georgia 81, Florida 96, Alabama SO,
Mississippi 81, Louisiana SO, Texas 80,
Arkansas 80, Tennessee SO. There is
some complaint of slow termination and
poor stands on account of drought at
the time Of planting in some sections,
but with favorable weather replanting is
rapidly filling all the gaps.
